Burden to Savor

 

A soft, holy morning like this

Awake in bed before dawn

Forcing my thoughts of you

 

Upon you

 

Full, ready body

Full, ready thoughts

Soft, holy distance

 

All upon you

 

Keep yourself well and happy

For I know certain things about us

That are likely to trouble you

But I will bear the complete burden

 

For now and until then
